Change the Address
Because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls, a
neighbor’s remote could control your receiver by mistake. To handle this
problem, you can change the address on the remote and receiver as follows:
1. Make sure you turn on the TV and receiver.
2. Open the
Important System Information
menu by
pressing the receiver’s front panel SYS INFO button.
3. The Important System Information menu shows a
Remote Address
.
Write down this number:
4. Press and hold the
SAT
mode button about three seconds, until
all the mode buttons light up, and then let go of the
SAT
button.
5. Use the number buttons to enter any number from 1 to 16, but
not the one you wrote in step 3.
Write down the number you enter:
6. Press the POUND (#) button. If you entered the address correctly, the
SAT mode button flashes three times.
7. Press the RECORD button.
8. Make sure the
Remote Address
you see on the
Important System
Information
menu now is the same as the one you entered in step 5. If
the addresses are not the same, repeat step 7.
9. To check the address in the remote control, press and hold the SAT
mode button for three seconds. Then, let go of the SAT button, and
press the POUND (#) button twice. The SAT mode button flashes the
same number of times as the address you entered in step 5.
Press the
SELECT
button to close the Important System Information
menu.
